Paint Pens

fifomania · 2008-08-01 15:31:25

I have a small dent at the left front light of my car and a really big dent below the left window in the back seat (let's say i wasn't too hot on my left side driving :rolleyes: :p) and there are scrapes around these dents. I saw a pen that matches the colour of my car for hiding dents and was wondering do these paint pens…

Unless your car is more than a few years old and is a straight colour or else a commercial vehicle don't touch them! It is very difficult to touch up damage with a paint pen and if the car is reasonably fresh it may be better to leave well enough alone and get it done professionally. If you go to sell it the micky mouse touch up job will look obvious.

the car is 9 years old and is silver. I bought it as a learner car and am tempted to sell it on so i guess I don't want it looking all touched up! I think it was touched up before I bought it and it does look noticeable :rolleyes:
